This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach in a small, cozy neighborhood elementary school in Virginia. The children in my building are lively and great kids. They appreciate and evolve from positive but firm motivation and are very bright when focused and interested. We were named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2006. Our school was renamed in June of 2018.
I love teaching grades Pre-K through first because kids at these stages are so enthusiastic and happy to learn!
I feed off of their enthusiasm, and it makes me want to provide them with even more innovative learning experiences!
My Project
So the principal gave me a charging cart for my kids' laptops the other day. I am so thankful because we use them daily and they need to remain charged so no momentum is lost.
Unfortunately, my classroom is what?
Small (everyone knows that, ha), so there aren't too many power outlets or spaces in which to place my new cart and laptop accessories.
I am asking for items to increase the efficiency in my classroom during instruction: extension cords, surge protector strips, markers, glue sticks, carpet markers, and KN95 masks. The cords and power strips are for the laptops, of course; the answer buzzers, pop-up pod, markers, and glue sticks are for daily learning station use; the carpet markers and masks are to protect each other and distance ourselves amidst the pandemic.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
